Something that I am very interested in trying to do is being able to share my recorded television shows over a network. I (and some of my friends) would like to be able to watch something recorded on my DVR on my Windows XP machine. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about setting it up? Detailed instructions are great since I am still pretty new to Linux. Thanks!

Yes, you can setup your myth box to share to your WinXP machine. Here is a how to on how to set it up.

To play the files on your winXP box make sure you have an mpeg4 codec and MythTV Filters installed.

You don't need the filters if you just use the /myth/pretty folder... since the original poster has an PVR-250 he's making MPEG2 files, and can just use /myth/pretty rather than trying to read .nuv files.

You can either just add the ".mpg" manually after copying the files to his Windows machine, or modify the mythlink.sh script to add the ".mpg" to the filename.

Alright, I have followed the directions that are on the knoppmyth wiki but I am still unable to connect to the share from windows. I am pretty sure I have part of it right because if I drop in a knoppix live eval cd I can then easily see the share. The following is my smb.conf file.


Code:
;
; /etc/samba/smb.conf
;
; Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux
;
; Please see the manual page for smb.conf for detailed description of
;   every parameter.
;

[global]
   load printers = yes
   guest account = nobody
   name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
   socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096
   preserve case = yes
   obey pam restrictions = yes
   encrypt passwords = true
   passdb backend = smbpasswd guest
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   dns proxy = no
   printing = bsd
   server string = KnoppMyth R5
   invalid users = root
   unix password sync = false
   workgroup = mshome
   syslog only = no
   os level = 20
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   syslog = 0;
   security = user
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
   short preserve case = yes
   max log size = 1000
   netbios name = linbox

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = yes

; By default, the home directories are exported read only. Change next
;   parameter to "no" if you want to be able to write to them.
   read only = yes

; File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
;   create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
   create mask = 0700

; Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
;   create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
   directory mask = 0700


[myth]
   comment = Myth files
   writeable = yes
   valid users = mythtv
   path = /myth

[encoded tv]
   comment = Recorded and encoded shows
   writeable = no
   valid users = mythtv
   path = /myth/tv/encode


Any suggestions for helping me fix this would be appreciated. Thanks,
